Notes: Title: GIFTS OF PROPHECY 4: Doctrine and Teaching by Dr Apostle Arome Osayi
Introduction Theme: This sermon provides an in-depth exploration of the gift of prophecy, distinguishing between its simple and advanced forms. It also presents a robust theological framework for judging prophetic utterances and warns against common forms of prophetic deception.
Purpose: The sermon was delivered to equip believers with the necessary wisdom to discern and test prophetic words. It seeks to prevent them from becoming victims of false prophecies and to encourage them to embrace the true prophetic ministry as a tool for their spiritual growth and empowerment.
Main Teachings Two Dimensions of Prophecy: Dr Osayi explains that prophecy can operate in two primary dimensions: by revelation (when the word is received privately and delivered later) and by inspiration (when the revelation and utterance occur simultaneously). He also differentiates between the "simple gift of prophecy," which all believers can exercise for edification, exhortation, and comfort, and the "advanced gift," which reveals mysteries and knowledge and is tied to the prophetic office.
The Purpose of Prophecy: The gift of prophecy is a divine tool designed to reveal God's mind, impart His wisdom, and provide confirmation for His chosen ones. It is also described as a "therapeutic" ministry that can "build up, stir up, and cheer up" believers who are struggling with depression or spiritual defeat.
Identifying False Prophecy: The sermon outlines three key things that prophecy is not:
An avenue to dictate to or control people.
A means of manipulating people.
An utterance from a spirit other than the Holy Ghost.
The Scripture Test for Prophecy: The primary safeguard against false prophecy is to "prove all things" and test every word against the written word of God. Scripture is a "more sure word of prophecy" that serves as the ultimate benchmark. The Bible is infallible because it has "one author but many writers," ensuring there is no private interpretation.
Illustrations and Examples A Prophecy of Marriage: Dr Osayi recounts a story of a prophet in London who dictated that a brother should marry a woman from the congregation. The prophecy was acted upon, but the marriage ended in divorce within a month, demonstrating the danger of dictatorial prophecy.
"God is afraid": He recalls a prophetic utterance where the person claimed that God sometimes gets afraid. He immediately recognised this as a false prophecy because it contradicts the nature of God revealed in scripture.
The Jerusalem Encounter: Dr Osayi shares a personal testimony of giving up his bed for another man while on a trip to Jerusalem. While sleeping on the floor, he had a profound, open-eyed encounter with "25 beings" (cherubim), illustrating how humility and sacrifice can lead to divine encounters.
Practical Applications Root your Faith in Scripture: Build your confidence on "spiritual facts" from the written word, rather than on fleeting emotions or feelings. This will make you unshakeable in the face of circumstances and deception.
Judge Prophetic Utterances: Do not simply accept every prophecy. Instead, prayerfully and scripturally judge the word to ensure it is from God and aligns with His nature and written counsel.
Maintain a Disciplined Spiritual Life: Consistent prayer is the only way to "light your candle" and move beyond your natural thought frequency into God's frequency. This is how you access the wisdom and counsel of God.
Reject Hype: Be cautious of ministries that rely on hype and emotional stirring, as these can be tools to manipulate rather than to build genuine spiritual substance.
Key Takeaways Prophecy is a gift for all believers to build up, stir up, and cheer up, but the advanced operation is reserved for those in the prophetic office who can reveal mysteries.
All prophecy must be tested against the "more sure word of prophecy," which is the Bible, to avoid deception and manipulation.
A mature believer's confidence is rooted in spiritual facts, not in feelings or emotions, making them less susceptible to manipulation and fear.
The purpose of spiritual discipline, like prayer, is to train a believer's spirit to dominate the flesh and fulfill a divine destiny.
Conclusion This teaching is an indispensable guide for any believer seeking to grow in the prophetic. By providing clear distinctions and scriptural tests, it empowers the body of Christ to become a discerning community that is not easily swayed by false utterances. The sermon's ultimate message is a call to a life of spiritual discipline and truth, so that the church can fully and safely operate in the power of God.
Memorable Quotes "Despise not prophesying, but prove all things and hold fast to that which is good."
This is presented as a fundamental New Testament command, balancing the need to value prophecy with the necessity of careful and spiritual discernment.
"The spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord."
This quote metaphorically explains that a believer's spirit is the infrastructure God uses for inspiration and illumination. It highlights the importance of prayer to get the "candle" lit and receive divine understanding.
"A man that does not pray has decided to enthrone the flesh. The only destiny he can fulfill is what the flesh permits."
This is a powerful and direct statement linking spiritual discipline to the fulfilment of one's God-given destiny. It serves as a strong challenge to indifference and a call to a life of prayerful devotion.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God."
This reinforces the prophetic nature of the Bible itself, establishing it as the ultimate, inspired word of God against which all other prophetic words must be tested for truth and validity
